Today I wore my new Blue Pelagos on rubber strap to work. A coworker comes to my desk and noticing my watch says, "Oh is that an Omega?!". I show him my wrist and say, "No, it's a Tudor". Staring at the watch briefly, he doesn't recognize the Tudor brand, then he goes, "Oh, its a cheapie". He then loses interest and changes the subject. I was amused by this interaction as he obviously had no clue how relatively expensive and great this watch is. Thanks, Todd

But the more interesting thing is the watch was so striking he walked up and inquired - he clearly recognized it as something exceptional - he likely knew two brands, Rolex and Omega. I showed my Pelagos to my hairdresser and she yelped, wow that is a sexy watch! Didn't matter what kind it was, but she thought it looked "sexy" The blue is a real attention grabber, mine is stealth black.

I got a similar reaction to my North Flag. I noticed one of my colleagues had a Speedy Pro, and when I complimented him he said "Thanks, which Omega do you have?"

He probably assumed that if I recognized the Speedmaster I must also be an Omega owner. I replied "I don't have one, I wear a Tudor" and showed him. His face dropped, his eyes glazed and all he said was, "Oh."

obviously people don't know much about other brands apart from rolex, omega and tag.. him not knowing tudor shows he know nothing about watches.
atleast he could have said cheaper rolex ... that would be more acceptable
